MP Greg Hunt Queefed A Tweet About Saving The Reef, Lived To Regret It

It’s also very hard to try and make it appear like you and your party are better for the environment than the other parties when you demonstrably aren’t, so maybe you start grasping at straws:

So Hunt is bragging that the Coalition is better for the reef, which we KNOW to be dying, will be receiving less scrutiny? That’s like bragging that you’ve stopped seeing security camera footage of your shop being robbed because you uninstalled your security cameras.

Even if the implication is that the reef is suddenly all better, and that’s why it was taken off the list, it’s totally not – it was taken off the list because the government spent $400,000 lobbying to keep it off the list so that it wouldn’t affect tourism. Nice one, Greg.

Needless to say, Twitter had a few words to say about this:

@GregHuntMP Having it taken off the list doesn’t mean it’s no longer in danger… #facepalm #auspol

Not sure what his thought process was on this one but it’s probably better to just remain silent about your shitty environmental policies than to try and spin them in the dumbest way possible.
